The weekenders

Thursday, October 11, 2012

This weekend I went on a spur of the moment trip with Jonna to visit another very dear friend Johanna who moved to Linköping (a smaller university town further down in Sweden) a while ago. Since both me and Jonna wanted to do something different and because we both missed Johanna badly we finally decided to rent a car and together with Matthias drive down to see her! 
It was a wonderful trip and I really enjoyed to spend the entire weekend with friends, laughing, rambling about all the stuff they haven't heard, listening to all the stuff I haven't heard and discover new places where I haven't been before. In addition to Linköping we also spent some time in the small town Kinda where Jonnas grandmother used to live in a very big house with a beautiful garden! I just fell in love with that place and would definitely want to go back in summer when I think it must be even more heavenly. 


First we went to a beautiful park in the middle of the city for a cup of coffe and a taste of autumn nature.

A quick photo of the three of us, me, Jonna and Johanna.



The sun was shining and it felt so nice after days of rain in Uppsala. I marveled over the trees that had shifted   colors to lovely yellow, orange and red. 

Johanna's smile was shining in competition with the sun.

Jonna's tying her shoe's.



A cute little mallard almost got invisible in the leaf-filled water.



Relaxing.

 Johanna's boyfriend Johannes who tagged along for the trip, I know, it's sweet they almost share the same name. 

The very famous "Göta kanal". A canal that runs through the south of Sweden and who is featured in some bad movies. One of the more tragic moments in my life was when I dragged myself through "Göta kanal 3" which I wouldn't recommend anyone to see, even ironically. 




Contemplating on the bridge and catching some sun.


My birthday shoes from my dad has become new favorites. It's weird that I will turn 25 in only five days.


A beautiful vista that reminded me of where I grew up. I realized that I really miss having nature around the corner.

My dress and jacket is another find from Milkteeths. I bought them when she had her birthday-sale. The beret is also a finding from Etsy, a new shop with a super cute girl that has a thing for crocheting. Click here to find out more!


As I already wrote, it was a magical weekend and I'm so happy we decided to realize it. Want to see even more pictures from the trip? Follow me on instagram where my name is simonastreet, I try to update everyday!


This charming skirt and a language switch

Friday, September 21, 2012




Lipstick: "Stunnig matte", Face 
Pearl necklace/collar: Topshop
Peach coloured blouse: Monki

Vintage Skirt: Milkteeths

So, I've been contemplating it for a while, since many of my readers are international I will try to write in english. But my love for the swedish language may still shine through though and you should also be prepared for some misspelling and funny grammar!

Well, thought I'd give you a short introduction of myself. My name is Simona, I am 24 years old (going on 25) and I live in Swedens oldest university town Uppsala, very close to the capitol Stockholm. I am a trained arthistorian and a lover of bygone eras. This blog is 'bout me, my photography, my love for vintage and everything else I find interesting. I love to mix new and old, find bargains, visit exhibitions, try and make stuff, travel, be inspired, work with colours, dance, collect beautiful stuff (anyhting from old cameras to fawns), photograph and so much more!

Welcome!

..Btw, just had to show you this beauty of a skirt! Found it at the shop Milkteeths on etsy. I had already bought two gorgeous dresses from her so I knew that the shipping would be fast and that the description of the skirt would be accurate. When it arrived I immediately had to take it out for a spin around town! Isn't it adorable?

Update: Did you know that Milkteeths is having a 24% off birthday sale today, saturday september 22? Check it out!
